Health Values of a Vegetarian and Vegan

€ 98.00

The LOUNA Health Values of a Vegetarian and Vegan package has been designed for those following a vegetable-rich or vegan diet. It is important to pay attention to an adequate intake of vitamins and proteins in all diets. For example, vitamin deficiencies may cause symptoms such as fatigue or vertigo.

The Health Values of a Vegetarian and Vegan package provides you with extensive data on the versatility of your diet. The blood tests included in the package show whether you are getting the necessary amounts of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, iron, and vitamins B12 and D. The package also includes a measurement of so-called storage iron (ferritin), CRP and TSH. The Health Counts of a Vegetarian and Vegan package helps you make the right choices in terms of your diet, and thereby helps you prevent potential health problems such as anaemia or cardiovascular diseases.

The Louna Health Values of a Vegetarian and Vegan package is ideal for both one-off and regular monitoring.
